I first had this beer back in October of 2019. (Which feels like ancient history.) And I remember wanting to write a review of it even back then for the site…. and for some reason I never did. Not sure why exactly. Maybe I just didn’t get around to it or something, but I even kept my photo of the beer on my desktop screen this whole time. Ironically, I recently had it again, so what better opportunity to revisit the beer for my second beer review release for Andor: Season 2. Last week I reviewed – Admiral (J Henry Barrel Aged Grand Stout) by Delta Beer Lab – and so this week, we’ll taking a look at a much closer brewery – Rotunda Brewing Company with their Imperial Black IPA (or Imperial Cascadian IPA). This is one of my favorite styles of beer, I love Black IPAs, and Double Black IPAs are event better.

But before we dive in, I want everyone to please take a look at our stream / podcast / video we made on YouTube. It stars myself, Drew of Knights of Nostalgia, and Tim (Aglets). You can view it here:

In the video we cover the first three episodes of Andor. So please be sure to check it out!

And now, onto the review!

Chewbacca by Rotunda Brewing Company (at the Rising Sun in 2019)

The Beer Review: Chewbacca by Rotunda Brewing Company

Beer: Chewbacca
Brewery: Rotunda Brewing Company
Style: Imperial Black IPA / Double Black IPA
ABV: 8%
IBU: N / A
Untappd Description: (Blank)

 

Let’s check out this Wookie beast (not to be confused with the Wookie Monster by Fourscore). Will someone get this Walking Carpet out of my way so I can type!

Appearance

Chewbacca pours a deep, opaque brown-almost bordering on black-with a creamy, tan head that lingers like a loyal Wookiee companion. The lacing is impressive, clinging to the glass with each sip, leaving behind a trail reminiscent of hyperspace streaks.

Aroma

Right out of the gate, there’s a punch of roasted malt-think dark chocolate and fresh-brewed coffee-balanced by a piney, resinous hop profile. There’s a subtle undercurrent of caramel and a hint of citrus, like orange peel, that peeks through as it warms. The aroma is bold and inviting, promising complexity.

Chewbacca by Rotunda Brewing Company

Taste

The first sip delivers a satisfying interplay between roasted malt bitterness and assertive hop character. Notes of espresso and bittersweet cocoa dominate up front, quickly joined by pine, grapefruit, and a touch of earthy spice. The Black IPA style shines here: the hops never overwhelm the malt backbone, instead weaving together in a harmonious, chewy mouthfeel. The 9.2% ABV is well-hidden, but there’s a gentle warmth in the finish that lets you know this is a beer worthy of a Wookiee.

Mouthfeel

Medium to full-bodied, with a creamy carbonation that lifts the flavors without feeling heavy. The finish is dry, with lingering roast and a pleasant, resinous bitterness that invites another sip.

Overall Impressions

Chewbacca is a robust, well-executed Black IPA that balances dark roast and hop bite with finesse. It’s a bold tribute to its namesake-complex, powerful, and just a little wild. Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or simply a lover of big, hoppy dark ales, this is a beer that deserves a spot in your cantina. Untappd’s 3.8/5 rating feels right, but I’d nudge it a bit higher for the sheer fun and craftsmanship.

Wrap Up

My Untappd Rating: ****.25
Global Untappd Rating: 3.8 (out of nearly 1000 ratings) (as of 4.25.25)

May the hops be with you-always.

I’m gonna have to check the archives of the site here, or on my computer, to see if I have any notes or anything from the initial first time I drank the beer, if maybe I started a review and then sadly – for whatever reason – never got around to finishing it. Maybe I was waiting for the right chance to post it, and never found it. Who knows, there’s over 70+ articles in my “draft” folder here on the site, some day I’ll get around to posting them…. unfortunately that day is not today though. But be sure to come back to the site, who knows, maybe it’ll be tomorrow…..

And check back next Tuesday for another (hopefully) Star Wars themed beer release. Over the weekened is May the Fourth Be With You, so once again, hopefully I’ll be able to grab some of the RAR Star Wars themed beers and will be able to review them weekly!

Cheers all and thank you for reading!

Beer Busters Podcast: Episode 269: So Long, and Thanks for all the Beer

Beer Busters Podcast

Beer Busters is a podcast dedicated to celebrating and exploring the world of craft beer. The show was founded in 2013 by brothers Dan and Wayne Baker, along with their cousin Steph Heffner. Since its inception, Beer Busters has been a bi-weekly podcast where the hosts sit down with brewers, owners, representatives, and others in the craft beer industry to sip brews and discuss various topics related to beer. The podcast format typically includes:

  1. Interviews with industry professionals
  2. Discussions about beer history and brewing techniques
  3. News segments about the craft beer world
  4. Interactive segments like “Know Your Beers” and “Happy Fun Time”

For example, in a 2015 episode, Dan brought news stories about NFL beer prices and Metallica beer cans, while Steph taught listeners how to prepare for a beer event in the “Know Your Beers” segment. Over the years, Beer Busters has covered a wide range of topics, including:

  • The history and origins of non-alcoholic beer
  • Different beer production methods
  • Community reactions to various beer trends
  • Beer-related events, particularly in the Philadelphia area

The podcast has featured numerous guests from the craft beer industry. In a December 2022 episode, they hosted Matthew Steinberg (Co-Founder and Head Brewer) and Kelsey Roth (General Manager) from Exhibit ‘A’ Brewing Company, discussing topics such as local sourcing, sustainable practices, and social initiatives in brewing. Beer Busters has maintained its presence across various podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and others. The show continues to provide listeners with a mix of education, entertainment, and insider perspectives on the craft beer industry.

Meet the Beer Busters

The Beer Busters podcast is primarily hosted by three individuals:

  1. Dan Baker: One of the founding members of the podcast, Dan is a brother to Wayne and cousin to Steph. He often takes the lead in hosting segments like “Happy Fun Time” and brings news stories to discuss on the show.
  2. Steph Heffner: Another founding member, Steph is a cousin to Dan and Wayne. She has been known to lead educational segments like “Know Your Beers,” sharing her knowledge about beer and brewing with listeners.
  3. Wayne Baker: The third core member of the podcast, Wayne is Dan’s brother. While sometimes absent from episodes due to other commitments, he is an integral part of the team and contributes to the show’s dynamic.

These three hosts have been consistently involved with Beer Busters since its inception in 2013. They travel to breweries and other beer-related locations to record episodes, interviewing industry professionals and exploring various aspects of craft beer culture. Occasionally, the podcast features guest hosts or longtime friends of the show. For example:

  1. Mark Graves: Described as “Slimy Sauce himself,” Mark is a longtime friend from the earliest days of Beer Busters who has filled in for Wayne when he was unable to attend a recording session.

The Beer Busters team has maintained their dedication to celebrating and exploring the world of craft beer for over a decade, providing listeners with a mix of education, entertainment, and insider perspectives on the brewing industry

Find the Beer Busters

You can still find the Beer Busters through these different means (websites, podsites, social media, etc.) Their content will most likely be staying online for the near foreseeable future; no word on if or when it will be taken down.

Beer Busters Legacy

The Beer Busters Podcast, which ran from 2013 to 2025, left an indelible mark on the craft beer community. For over a decade, hosts Dan Baker, Steph Heffner, and Wayne Baker traveled to breweries and beer-related locations, bringing listeners a unique blend of education, entertainment, and insider perspectives on the brewing industry. Their dedication to celebrating and exploring the world of craft beer resonated with audiences, earning them a loyal following and a 4.8-star rating on Apple Podcasts.
Throughout its run, Beer Busters consistently delivered engaging content, featuring interviews with industry professionals, discussions on beer history and brewing techniques, and interactive segments like “Know Your Beers” and “Happy Fun Time”. The podcast’s final episode, aptly titled “So Long, And Thanks For All The Beer,” aired on January 19, 2025, marking the end of an era for craft beer enthusiasts. In their farewell message, the hosts expressed gratitude to their listeners and encouraged them to “be true to yourselves and kind to each other,” reflecting the warm and inclusive spirit that characterized the show. The podcast ran from May 6, 2013, to January 19, 2025, completing 275 episodes over nearly 12 years. They maintained their signature style of traveling to breweries, interviewing industry professionals, and featuring their popular “Happy Fun Time” segments throughout their run.
Beer Busters’ legacy extends beyond its audio content. The podcast played a significant role in showcasing Pennsylvania’s German brewing heritage and leadership in brewing German-style lagers. By providing a platform for brewers, owners, and industry representatives to share their stories and expertise, Beer Busters contributed to the growth and appreciation of craft beer culture. As the craft beer landscape continues to evolve, the impact of Beer Busters’ 12-year journey in educating and entertaining beer enthusiasts will undoubtedly be remembered and cherished by its dedicated listeners.

Beer Review: I’m 40% Galaxy (Local Craft Beer) https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/07/29/beer-review-im-40-galaxy-local-craft-beer/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=beer-review-im-40-galaxy-local-craft-beer Tue, 30 Jul 2024 01:00:24 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15346 Beer Review: I’m 40% Galaxy (Local Craft Beer)

I’m 40% Galaxy by Local Craft Beer

Futurama is Back Baby

Futurama aired it’s first episode of “Season 12” (and I put that in quotations) on Hulu today (or Disney+ if you have the bundle). The A-plot is another Bender existentialism episode where he meets his family from Mexico, and the B-plot is a heist about stealing NFT’s.

While the idea being the NFT’s is pretty cringe and very dated at this point, the overall episode is pretty solid (as most Bender episodes are). Its not as funny as the FOX era or some of the best Comedy Central episodes, but its a decent episode, that on first viewing I felt “meh” about due to the NFT story beats, but then with a second viewing I enjoyed a bit more. Most likely falling in the 6.5 or 7/10 range for me.

Interestingly Danny Trejo voices Doblando, and I am currently reading his book – Trejo.

I’ll post more thoughts on the episode, and some references and things after the beer review.

Beer Review

I’m 40% Galaxy by Local Craft Beer (LCB)

Brewery: Local Craft Beer (LCB)
Style: Triple New England / Hazy IPA
ABV: 10%
IBU: 15
Untappd Description: More like 80% Galaxy but Bender doesn’t care as long as it’s beer!

As Bender might say, “I’m 40% Galaxy” is 100% amazing. This Triple New England IPA from Local Craft Beer (LCB) pours an inviting, hazy golden-yellow, reminiscent of a glowing sunset over New New York. Topped with a thick, creamy white head that shows impressive retention, it leaves a delicate lace that would make even the most indifferent of robots take notice.

The aroma of this beer is an olfactory feast dominated by the hallmark characteristics of Galaxy hops. Imagine Fry’s favorite Slurm drink, but transformed into an explosion of tropical fruit aromas featuring passion fruit, ripe peach, and zesty citrus. These fruity notes are complemented by subtle undertones of pine and resin, adding complexity and depth, much like the intricate plots of “Futurama.”

From the first sip, “I’m 40% Galaxy” delivers a smooth and juicy experience that would make Leela trade in her single-eye view for a taste. The tropical fruit flavors take center stage, with passion fruit, mango, and pineapple dancing on the palate like Hypnotoad’s mesmerizing performances. The sweetness from the malt is perfectly balanced by a gentle bitterness, ensuring that the beer remains refreshing and not cloying, akin to the refreshing humor that “Futurama” fans adore.

The mouthfeel of this Triple NEIPA boasts a medium to full body with a luxuriously creamy, velvety texture. The moderate carbonation provides a lively yet smooth drinking experience, much like a seamless delivery run by the Planet Express crew. Despite the high ABV, the alcohol is well-masked, making the beer dangerously easy to drink, even for a robot with Bender’s legendary tolerance.

The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of tropical fruit and a mild, resinous bitterness. There’s a subtle warmth from the alcohol, reminding you of the beer’s strength, but it remains well-integrated and pleasant. This is a beer that, like the best episodes of “Futurama,” leaves you wanting more.

“I’m 40% Galaxy” by Local Craft Beer is a stellar example of a Triple New England IPA, showcasing the beloved Galaxy hop in all its tropical glory. The balance of flavors, the creamy mouthfeel, and the masterful hiding of the high ABV make this beer a must-try for hop enthusiasts. Its complexity and depth ensure that each sip offers something new, making it a perfect subject for a detailed review. Just as “Futurama” continues to captivate with its blend of humor and heart, this beer captivates with its blend of flavors and aromas. Cheers to a beer that would make the Planet Express crew proud!

My Untappd rating: ****
Global Untappd Rating: 4.02 (as of 7.29.24)

Futurama Season 12

Futurama Season 12 picks up after the 10 episode “Season 11” aired last year (2023) on Hulu. In 2025 there will be another additional 10 episodes, and then another 10 in 2026. So, I suppose you could say – Futurama is DEFINITELY Back Baby!

Season 11 of Futurama on Hulu (and I am using Hulu’s season and episode numbering here) was…. ok. I reviewed some of the episodes (you can find the links below). I am hoping for a rebound season with Season 12, and this was a decent kick off to it.

For a list of the Futurama episodes you can view the Wikipedia article here: List of All Futurama Episodes.

A fun review of “The One Amigo” (S12: E1) by Johnny 2 Cellos:

Nimble Giant Returns Monday https://thebeerthrillers.com/2024/06/07/nimble-giant-returns-monday/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=nimble-giant-returns-monday Fri, 07 Jun 2024 16:13:31 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=15157

Nimble Giant Returns Monday June 10th (photo courtesy of Troegs Brewing)

Nimble Giant Returns Monday June 10th, 2024

As you might have seen from our Instagram account Nimble Giant will be making its awaited return on Monday, June 10th, 2024. This yearly beer by Troegs Independent Brewing is one of their most sought after and beloved beers of the year (alongside Nugget Nectar and Mad Elf). This is a bold, beautiful, strong, delicious DIPA (Double IPA), clocking in at 9.0% and knocking your socks off with how smooth, easy drinking, and wonderful it is. You can easily plow through an entire case without noticing (as Drew of Knights of Nostalgia and I can attest from Wednesday night). (You can see us drinking our Nimble Giant case during our Acolyte episode reviews – found here: Consuming Brews and Media – The Acolyte Episode 1 Review).  (And definitely check out this YouTube short and reel of YORD nonsense.)

Nimble Giant

The Nimble Giant by Troegs Independent Brewing (photo courtesy of Troegs Brewing Social Media)

Tröegs Independent Brewing is set to release its fan-favorite double IPA, Nimble Giant on Monday (June 10th, 2024). One of the independent brewery’s most beloved beers, Nimble Giant is a limited annual release that rivals the excitement generated by its iconic holiday ale, Mad Elf.

Nimble Giant began as part of Tröegs’ small-batch Scratch Series, originally experimenting with Mosaic hops. After half a dozen test batches, the Tröegs brewing team discovered a perfect hop combination: Mosaic, Simcoe, and Azacca.

“We loved our earliest trials with Mosaic,” says John Trogner, Tröegs co-founder and brewmaster. “When we started dry-hopping with Mosaic and Simcoe together, we knew we had something special. Fans would stop me on the street and rave about the Scratch batches.”

With an ABV of 9%, Nimble Giant features notes of tropical fruit, pine sap, and honeysuckle. Backed by pilsner and Vienna malts, this deep orange-hued double IPA achieves a perfect balance between malt and hops.

Nimble Giant scores an ‘Outstanding’ on BeerAdvocate and consistently ranks in the top ten trending beers on Untappd upon its release.

Nimble Giant is available on draft and in 16-oz. cans across the brewery’s entire distribution footprint. Also look for it on draft at the Troegs Brewery, as well as in select restaurants, pubs, and other locations. You can also order sixtels from the General Store at Troegs Brewery.

Beer drinkers can find Nimble Giant and other Tröegs beers near them using the Tröegs Brew Finder.

Nimble Giant cracked open and ready to be enjoyed while we record our Acolyte Episode reviews.

Two Rivers Brewing Stars in J.G. Wentworth’s New National Commercial https://thebeerthrillers.com/2023/12/12/two-rivers-brewing-stars-in-j-g-wentworths-new-national-commercial/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=two-rivers-brewing-stars-in-j-g-wentworths-new-national-commercial Tue, 12 Dec 2023 13:44:58 +0000 https://thebeerthrillers.com/?p=13237

J.G. Wentworth Commercial starring Easton’s Two Rivers Brewing Company

Call J.G. Wentworth

Its your money and you need it now.

So who does J.G. Wentworth call when they need – a commercial spot – apparently they call Two Rivers Brewing Company in Easton, Pennsylvania. They are the stars of the latest national commercial for J.G. Wentworth.

They filmed on location at their brewery in 542 Northampton St, Easton, PA 18042.

You can find their latest commercial here at J.G. Wentworth’s Official YouTube Channel: J.G. Wentworth commercial. Or click the play – video button above.

The jingle is so distinct and so known you might have already even seen the commercial, not really paying attention, and hummed along with it or even singing it while looking down at your phone, but if you looked up, and paid attention to the screen you would instantly recognize it as the Two Rivers location.

They have bartenders wearing their shirts, its the iconic building, its the bar you’ve probably sat at and had a pint, the tables you might’ve gone on a date at and had your dinner or lunch. Everything was filmed on location in Easton for the commercial.

How’d It Come About

So why are the people in Easton’s premier brewery – Two Rivers Brewing Company – singing the J.G. Wentworth jingle on national TV?

It’s a long-winded answer…

Dan Hertzog – the director of the commercial

Dan Hertzog is the head of production company In The Wee Hours and is the director behind the J.G. Wentworth commercial. It began airing fall of 2023 and has been airing nationally; typically running during sporting events, sitcoms, and news programs on the major networks.

The story begins when Hertzog moved from Los Angeles to southern New Jersey in January 2020. That summer, he was hired by the Lehigh Valley’s resident auteur Daniel Roebuck to serve as cinematographer on the latter’s film “Lucky Louie,” which was shot around the Lehigh Valley in the fall. That gave Hertzog some familiarity with the area, which was furthered when he teamed up with Roebuck to shoot his next Lehigh Valley-set film, “The Hail Mary,” which is in post-production.

In between those two shoots, Hertzog, who’s worked in the commercial business before, was back in L.A. and connected with J.G. Wentworth. In 2022, the financial company asked Hertzog if he’d be interested in rebooting its famous 2008 commercial that featured a theater troupe of vikings singing the earworm of a jingle.

Call 877-BEER-NOW? Two Rivers stars in J.G. Wentworth’s new national commercial – Lehigh Valley Live

A great boon and advertisement piece for Two Rivers Brewing, especially given the national exposure this commercial creates.

When discussing why he picked Two Rivers Brewing Company, Herzog:

As soon as I saw it, it was my first choice. In my mind, that was the perfect bar. … Anything that’s well-maintained and taken care of and has the character of yesteryear is going to be something. And when I walked in there, it was beautifully maintained. The window light is a big attraction as a cinematographer, the production design aspect is just one big, open space with two pillars to shoot around. It plays really well to the concept.

Dan Herzog – Director of the commercial

In addition to the commercial that is airing nationally, there is several 15 second clip spots that J.G. Wentworth also has of the commercial and the location. All of which can be found at their YouTube Channel: J.G. Wentworth’s YouTube channel.

People have been like ‘hey, that’s Two Rivers. It’s been pretty neat.

Wendy Carrolls – General Manager of Two Rivers Brewing Company

The brewery was also featured in the film ‘The Florentine’ in 1999. Starring Hal Holbrook, Luke Perry, Virginia Madsen, Jeremy Davies, Chris Penn, and Mary Stuart Masterson.
